Week 3.1 Success

I'm dancing a victory dance that you will just have to imagine! What a great morning! #4 got cereal last night and slept through without even a fuss. Yippee! Sleep is a wonderful thing. That's not the only victory we're celebrating. Yes today I weighed in and am now at 249! Hurrah for me! I am out of the 250's. I know it's only one pound below, but a loss of 6 pounds is something to celebrate.

Since I started exercising, I have noticed that when I eat things that are heavy and greasy, that is exactly how I feel. We are really trying to eat more fresh and real food. Last night we had one of our favorite salads.
Here's the recipe:
1 can beans-Your choice I doubled this last night and had 1 can black, and 1 can kidney beans, but I have done it with pintos and it is equally good.
1 cup frozen corn, I put it in a colander and run cold water over it to thaw it
1 green bell pepper diced
1 large tomato diced, I used grape tomatoes diced, it just takes more
2 green onions diced
1 cup chopped chicken, I bought a rotisserie chicken and pulled out the breast and chopped them, you could use canned or leave it out
2 TBS ranch dressing

I mix it all in one bowl and serve it with tortilla chips. Most of my girls like it, and Patrick loves it. It makes me feel good to get in my veggies and some good fiber, and depending on the chips you use, some whole grain. It is fresh and yummy! In the winter we need some colorful food to take away the blahs.

As for my appointment yesterday, I found out my blood test results and everything looks good. My A1C came back at 6.4 which is great. I am working hard on my exercise and will start food journaling, now that I know what I need to eat. I am feeling great!
